On April 28, 2013, forty (40) TRA-Brockton and New Bedford staff, students, and their family members once again participated in the annual walk to raise money in support of The Old Colony Hospice.
The history of New Bedford pre-dates the Pilgrims of Plymouth by 18 years when it was explored by English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold.
Nicknamed "The Whaling City" because it was, during the 19th century, one of the most important whaling ports in the world.
New Bedford is the home of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the country's largest museum on the subject of whaling and the history of interaction between humans and whales.
